One thing I like about the Bible is it is the greatest book written and the authors get away with not following our American grammar laws. This week I was preparing for Sunday Night and reading Romans 12...at one point Paul began writing exhortations that were not connected. Where am I going with this? This post may be disjointed and disconnected...
At the end of last year I wrote the past year had been most interesting...I have decided to give it a new adjective...taxing...the past year in ministry has been the most taxing, mentally, spiritually and physically. I have had mornings where I didn't think I could get out of bed...just like the title of this blog, I've been n-motion. If nothing has come out of the last year God has allowed my boldness to grow...in the mean time God is confirming so many things. It seems every conversation, every book I read and many songs I hear are connected. The last couple weeks especially have been as close to a 'burning bush' experience I've ever had. What is funny about all this is many of the books I am reading have been sitting on my shelf for years and were actually written between 15 and 20 years ago...since that time I've thumb through the books never reading them but now they fit perfectly in with the dreams God has been placing on my heart for Providence.
While at times I have hurt, it has created a climate in which I have to pray...I have to remember if I could do it on my own I would be tempted to keep the glory...in the mean time I have to keep circling the walls expecting them to fall...I have to keep blowing my horn waiting for the obstacles to destroy themselves...all it takes is faith the size of a mustard...is't God great...He didn't say we needed faith the size of Mount. Everest....He said Faith the size of a mustard seed will move mountains...I believe God has something magnificent in store...it is time to possess the land...God is going before us
One of my favorite Mandisa songs says "We may weep for a time, but joy will come in the morning light". Daily, I am reminded that things happen in His time not mine. Through our trials, whatever they may be, we learn to trust Him more. Lately, He has placed people in my path when I least expected it, but most needed it. Though things continue to be, as you put it "taxing", I know that I need to give all my worries to Him and pray for the peace that only He can give.
